I renewed my tabs online. It was quick and easy. Take that, line at the SoS! | ||

I also did my change of addresses when I moved online. The post office sent me a whole bunch of great coupons for Lowes and Home Depot and such. Cool! I used them all. | ||

Michigan was the second state to join the Talent Bank for jobs during the late 1990s. But, in essence, they just piggy-backed on the work of the state of Missouri in that regard. And there probably were a lot of "second" states back then duplicating other state's Web sites. In the final analysis, the states probably pay privateers for creating those Web sites anyway. | ||

If Michigan is second, I would hate to really see #3-#50. | ||

quote:that pisses me off every time too. And every year i go in the office to renew, and every time i forget that tidbit. Fortunately, my local office has virtually no lines, ever, and is right around the corner, so it's not a big deal, but still, i see no excuse why this can't be done. Personally, I'm not that impressed with the state's website. It's cluttered and takes me forever to find what i'm looking for. The overall layout is hideous and incredibly non-user-friendly, particularly when compared to the other sites i visit (which, granted, aren't using public money). This study seems to only take into consideration the mere presence of certain information, services, and features, but does not consider the ease of use. If the state really wants to be a leader, they'll focus as much - or more - on the QUALITY of the service as the quantity. | ||

You can use Discover Card now at the SOS offices, and I think you can use either a credit or debit card if you use the automated machine for new tabs. (Credit cards cost to process - sometimes over 3% - wouldn't that be a huge waste of taxpayer money? Discover Card probably cut the state a deal.) PS: It's always nice to hear from Gov. Milliken, no matter what side you're on. Vote for moderates so the state and country can start functioning again! (Message edited by lilpup on August 06, 2007) |
